Installation Requirements

1.Install furnace level.

This furnace is NOT to be used for temporary heat of build- ings or structures under construction.

3, Install furnace as centralized as practical with respect to the heat distribution system.

4.Install the vent pipes as short as practical. (See Ventand

Combustion Air Piping section).

5.Maintain clearance for fire safety and servicing. A front

clearance of 30" is required for access to the burner, con- trols and filter.

6.Use a raised base for upflow furnace if the floor is damp or wet at times.

For downflow installations, non combustible subbase must be used under the furnace unless installation is on a non

combustible floor surface. This requirement applies even when a coil box or cabinet is used.

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to install unit on noncombustible subbase can result in death, personal injury and/or property damage.

Place furnace on noncombustible subbase on down-

flow applications, unless installing on non-combus- tible flooring.

8.For horizontal installations, line contact is permissible only between lines formed by intersection of back and two sides of furnace jacket, and building joists, studs or framing.

9, Residential garage installations require:

Burners and ignition sources installed at least 18" above the floor.

Located or physically protected from possible damage by

avehicle.

10.Local codes may require a drain pan under the entire fur- nace and condensate trap when the furnace is installed in

attic application.

Installation Positions

This furnace can be installed in an upflow, horizontal (either left or right) or downflow airflow position. DO NOT install this furnace on its back. For the upflow position, the return air ductwork can be attached to either the left or right side panel and/or the bottom. For

horizontal and downflow positions, the return air ductwork must be attached to the bottom. The return air ductwork must never be

attached to the back of the furnace.

Furnace Installation Considerations

The installation of the furnace for a given application will dictate the position of the furnace, the airflow, ductwork connections,

vent and combustion air piping. Consideration must be given to the following:

Condensate Trap and Drain Lines

The supplied condensate trap must be attached to the furnace side panel on either the left or right side. For horizontal installa- tions, the drain trap is vertically attached to the side panel below the furnace. A minimum clearance of 6" below the furnace is re-

quired for the condensate trap. Downward slope of the conden- sate drain line from the condensate trap to the drain location must

be provided. Adequate freeze protection of the drain trap and the

drain line must be provided. See "Condensate Drain Trap"section for further details.

Leveling

Proper leveling of the furnace must be provided to insure proper drainage of the condensate from the furnace. The furnace must be level to within 1/4" from front to back and from side to side for upflow and downflow installations or top to bottom for horizontal installations.

Vent and Combustion Air Connections

On the Dual Certified furnace, the vent and combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the top panel for the u pflow and hori-

zontal installations. For the downflow installation, the vent and

combustion air pipes attach to the furnace through the alternate locations on the furnace side panels.

Note: On the Direct Vent furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the fur- nace through the side panels. The combustion air pipe attaches to the top panel or to the alternate location on the side panel.

On the Single Pipe furnace, the vent pipe attaches to the furnace through the furnace side panels.

Note: Repositioning of the combustion blower is required for the vent pipe connection to the furnace through the "right side" panel.

See "Vent and Combustion Air Piping"section for further details.

9MPD, N9MP1, N9MP2 specifications

The Sears N9MP2, N9MP1, and 9MPD are prominent models in the realm of residential heating systems, specifically designed to provide efficient and effective heating solutions. These models are part of Sears' commitment to quality and innovation, making them a popular choice among homeowners seeking reliability and performance.

The N9MP2 is a high-efficiency multi-speed gas furnace that boasts an impressive AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating. This feature allows the furnace to convert a significant portion of fuel into usable heat, which effectively translates to lower energy bills for homeowners. The unit is equipped with a two-stage gas valve that provides increased comfort by adjusting the heating output based on demand, ensuring an even temperature throughout the home.

The N9MP1, like its counterpart, is known for its reliability and efficiency. It offers a single-stage operation that is ideal for homes needing consistent heating without the necessity for the more complex stages present in two-stage systems. This model also has a good AFUE rating, making it a cost-effective solution for families looking to reduce their heating expenses. Its design is tailored for easy installation and maintenance, allowing homeowners to keep their heating systems running at optimal performance without hassle.

The 9MPD model takes a step further with its advanced technology integration. It features a sophisticated control board that allows for easier diagnostics and enhanced system management. The 9MPD is also designed with quiet operation in mind, employing advanced sound-reduction technologies to minimize noise levels during heating cycles. Homeowners will appreciate the peace and quiet it brings, particularly in shared living spaces.

All three models are equipped with high-quality insulation and specialized heat exchangers that enhance their thermal efficiency. Additionally, they are designed with safety features such as automatic shut-off systems and robust flame rollout protection, ensuring a safe heating experience.

In terms of characteristics, these models are generally constructed with durable materials, designed to endure harsh weather conditions while providing consistent heating. They can be connected to various home automation systems, which adds to their appeal for tech-savvy consumers.

In conclusion, the Sears N9MP2, N9MP1, and 9MPD represent a comprehensive lineup of reliable, efficient, and technologically advanced heating systems suitable for contemporary homes. Their dedication to performance ensures that homeowners enjoy a warm and energy-efficient environment throughout the chilly seasons.
